Credit Analyst Certificate

The Credit Analyst Certificate is organized by Heritage Bank of Commerce and the Center for Banking and Financial Services at SJSU. The certificate is a (non-credit) program that exposes participants to financial and credit analysis, loan underwriting and approval.
The Credit Analyst Certificate is taught by Heritage Bank’s managers and executives and is organized in four 90-minute sessions, with a final team-competition where the two best performing teams are rewarded with scholarships. In addition to the technical skills acquired in the program, participants learn about careers in banking and benefit from valuable networking opportunities.
